Safelite replaced the glass on my 2019 r. You 100% do not want the generic it will not fit and line up properly. I got and oem Pilkington glass and it fit perfect factory I had saint gobain.
I recommend going with the OEM glass (which is Pilkington). There have been a number of complaints with aftermarket glass being "softer" and more suspectable to cracks/chips compared to the OEM glass.
I ended up with pilkington and the quality has been fantastic.
Had mine replaced at the end of last year with a new Pilkington unit. The mirror sensor was unclipped and the clipped onto the new one - no issues. Like others have said, the cheap OEM version on my old 2018 was soft and pitted/stained easily. Worth the upgrade!
Pilkington is an OEM supplier so I wouldn\u2019t be too worried; my old Volvo had a factory Pilkington windshield.
I have an 18. I've had my windshield replaced. Replacement glass from Pilkington, made at same factory as the original VW glass. Was around $300-400 installed. No camera calibration required.
Since the last time I posted, Anthony installed the Pilkington FW4119 glass on my car. He was right--it was completely free of any distortions, haziness, or warps.

I had a pilkington windshield on my jetta MKIV and it had to be replaced because I hosed the car off in the sun and the windshield broke.
The glass, made by Pilkington, was touching the front of the IP making noise. I called the glass company fearing the worst, but they said they told me not to worry and they would call Citizens and demand OEM glass.
